The Interface INF-USB3 module can process 5,000 samples a second

The Model INF-USB3 USB single-channel PC interface module by Interface

Durham Instruments supplies innovative test and measurement devices by Interface Force Measurement to Canadian industry. For instance, the Model INF-USB3 USB single-channel PC interface module is a sensor-to-USB output converter that makes any load cell USB-compatible, while providing an easy interface for gathering data from an Interface transducer directly onto a computer. This system can process as many as 5,000 samples a second, with one output module and software.

Convenient testing and monitoring applications

The graphic and logging software that comes with this solution functions well for convenient testing and monitoring applications, benefiting from immediate evaluation or collection for later research. Other key features of the INF-USB3 USB single-channel PC interface module: easy USB connection to load and torque transducers; 16-bit resolution; data logged into an MS Excel-compatible CSV file format; a shunt calibration trigger via software; and environmental sealing to an IP67 rating. The unit works with transducers of different outputs, including millivolt per volt, VDC, 4-20mA, or 5V TTL. The system also has USB connection to the computer and to the software. Among the other technical specifications of this Interface product:

• Accuracy – 0.1 per cent
